Key Information
No insurance = no drilling and digging for oil, gas and coal.
Be part of a major new nonviolent direct action campaign targeting a weak spot in the Fossil Fuel Death Star – their insurers. Get ready for a massive week of nationwide actions starting October 28
Current Focus for Campaign: STOP INSURING NEW OIL, GAS & COAL
How it all started
Following on from the Global Week of Actions earlier this year called 'Insure Our Future', XRUK took further action in July when UK insurers were greeted by Extinction Rebellion at their annual awards bash at the Royal Albert Hall.
Insure Our Survival have plans to continue a sustained, escalating campaign. It's time to stop insuring new fossil fuels, or face increasing direct action!
If you'd like to join the fun and take action against your local dirty insurers, then read more to find out how you can participate in direct action, in your local areas, from home, and in the City of London, to bring an end to insuring destructive Fossil Fuel projects for good!
